And since I am in such a pissed off mood over these version number let's start on these 
donations. Where do they go and what are they used for?

I think Debian was doing just fine before it started to receive cash donations. What expenses does 
it have? Can you make your books public Bruce?

The purpose  behind the official incorporation for Debian is still beyand me, and the more I think 
about it I don't like it.  The project (like linux) has always been for freeholders all over the world. 
Why the US government suddenly has to get involded, I have no idea. Why does Debian need to 
be an artificial US government privedged entiy? It's our OS. We collectivly own it. Why do we 
suddenly need permission from someone to exists I'm sure some of the other anarchists here are 
also wondering about these things....
